This is exactly what Raila had been dealing with since 2013. He would do all the donkey work, then, when it came time to announce the flag bearer, Kalonzo would pop up out of nowhere, accompanied by his bearded brother from Western, with his hair neatly combed, and say, “Mniachie.”
They have now met their match in Gachagua.
Hakuna cha rahisi this time.

What happens when you jumpstart a 2019 car wrong? Well I suppose you don't wanna know😂🌚 6 capacitors and 5 DC DC modules deep and the short circuit is not yet resolved.

Tackling an international fraud ring of this scale is the result of longstanding cooperation between Kenya and the United States. This team of investigators is not finished with their work to fight fraud and protect citizens.
The United States is deeply grateful for the assistance and professionalism of Kenyan law enforcement and prosecutors. This includes @DCI_Kenya, Assets Recovery Agency, @ODPP_KE, Kenya Revenue Authority, and the Financial Reporting Center.
Through this critical assistance and intelligence from Kenya, investigators were able to seize more than $750,000 from a cryptocurrency account belonging to a Kenyan national connected to this fraud scheme.
OPERATION GHOSTBUSTERS 👻🇺🇸
Kenyan nationals used stolen American identities to commit fraud by funneling federal student aid for their own personal gain and co-conspirators overseas.
Fraudsters like these are being crushed under @WHFraudTF and @TheJusticeDept leadership.

🚨 BREAKING: The Trump DOJ uncovered a MULTIMILLION dollar student loan fraud scheme perpetrated in part by KENYANS in America
These Kenyans were STEALING American identities, applying for student loans, then sending that money back to KENYA
SEND THEM ALL BACK. We DO NOT need these people here.
Multiple Kenyans have now been indicted by federal grand juries on SEVERAL federal charges, including theft of government money and aggravated identity theft.
American victims — some of which never went to college — were victims of this scheme, had their identities stolen, and their credit absolutely WRECKED.
These third worlders are absolute scumbags.

.@AAGMcDonald gives an update on Operation Ghostbusters, a nationwide investigation into federal student loan fraud:
"Today, we are announcing charges against five defendants and the seizure of more than $750,000 in cryptocurrency tied to this scheme, and laundered through a network associated with Kenyan nationals... Whether you’re in Nebraska, New Jersey, Virginia, or Nairobi, we will pursue you and bring you to justice. The American people deserve better than ghost students, fake applications, and stolen aid."

He bought a car that had a clear timing chain error code & the misfires while driving were the last warning signs before the pistons meet the cylinder valves.
Always get a Mech that understands that brand to advise u accordingly, a new timing kit after purchase would hv sorted it

2017: Sam Gikandi founded Africa's Talking, with Eston Kimani. Annual Revenue $20m
2018: received $8m funding from IFC [World Bank]. The World bank valued the company at US$ 100m [kes 13 billion]
Little did he know that the funding was a plan to completely decapitate him, and take the company he built. Away from him. Forcefully.
Today he lives from one court to another fighting after he was removed and decapitated from the company he built. What a sad story🙄

I built AT to surface the rot, to describe all forms of slavery. To expose the World Bank and their traitorous henchmen. To let God 🙏☀️
"I am on 7 months without a salary, on the verge of financial ruin, at the mercy of landlords and creditors. No Board has removed me as the CEO yet the World Bank are just sitting there, driving me to the verge of a mental breakdown. All so that they can take control of the Board and acquire the company at a depressed price. Employees are praying and fasting daily wondering when the siege will end."
— Sam Gikandi, Co-Founder & CEO, Africa's Talking

Adobe lawyers right now:
This is the doom I predicted a few days ago, coming for Photoshop. A clean-room open-source reimplementation.
No prizes for guessing that they decompiled Photoshop to source code, processed that to some kind of non-code specification language, then fed the spec to an LLM with an instruction to generate Rust.
Adobe just got nuked. And closed source is dead, dead, dead.

2 Maasai men have been taking care of an alleged stray baby giraffe for almost 1 week.
The giraffe feels very secure with them.
